MAC Future Forward | Lee Hi Lipstick: Review and Swatches

Recently, MAC has teamed up with K-Pop Star Lee Hi to create a limited edition lipstick as part of the brand's Future Foward campaign. With a deep and rich red color, the Lee Hi Lipstick ($21 CAD) is created to reflect the singer's "jazzy, retro-upbeat spin on pop music". To see some swatches and read my review of the formulation, click......

Packaging:
Aside from a special edition pink and holographic pink box, the MAC Lee Hi Lipstick comes in the traditional pearly black lipstick tube. The cap has a tapered bullet shape and the overall packaging has a nice and luxurious weight to it.

Formulation:
"Lee Hi" is a beautiful dark blood red. This shade definitely leans towards the warmer, brown red spectrum and the finish has a satin-matte sheen. In terms of pigmentation, "Lee Hi" is rich and super opaque. Just a light swipe provides a completely full coverage and the pigments cling very well to the lips without settling into any fine lines. Despite having a matte finish, the color isn't super drying. With that said, although the texture feels quite creamy at first, it will feel a bit dry after a few hours of wear. Finally, "Lee Hi" has a sweet vanilla scent (like all other MAC lipsticks) and you can get a good five-hour wear without noticeable fading.
